Abstract :
The purpose of this present study was to investigate the effect of varied training programme on selected speed and agility among football players. To achieve this purpose of the study forty five (N=45) football players were selected from Madras University affiliated College, Chennai, Tamil Nadu state, India, during the year 2016-17. The subject’s age ranges from 18 to 23 years. The selected subject were divided into three equal groups consists of fifteen subject each namely two experimental groups and control group from college students. The experimental group I underwent Plyometric training group (PTG) and experimental group II underwent Resistance training group (RTG) programme for twelve weeks. The control group was not taking part in any exercise during the course of the study. The dependent variable selected for the study were speed measure by 50mts dash and agility measure by Hexagonal Obstacle Test was used .Pre-test was taken before the exercise period and post- test was measured immediately after the twelve weeks training period. The data collected from the three groups were statistically analyzed for significance, the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used and the F ratio was found out. The Scheffe’s test is applied as post-hoc test to determine the paired mean differences. The level of significance will be fixed at .05 level of confidence for all the cases.
